“Monrovia has been growing landscaping plants for almost 100 years. During that entire time, it’s always been about the pursuit of beauty and quality.” Dear Friends, The demand for high quality landscaping plants never goes out of style. Indeed, for discerning consumers who will always value beauty and reliable garden performance, the Monrovia green pot is the gold standard. This excellent reputation is built on decades of craftsmanship and plant selection that came long before me, and it is one that all of our craftsmen, myself included, are dedicated to upholding. When Harry Rosedale, Sr. opened his small 10-acre nursery in Monrovia, California, nearly 100 years ago, he had a passion and vision: to grow plants stronger and more beautiful for the home gardener. Harry nurtured plants with improved features and influenced the industry in so many ways, most especially in creating a culture dedicated to the pursuit of beauty and quality in everything we do. Today, Monrovia Nursery Company is thousands of acres strong and spread out around the country. Each and every craftsman is still dedicated to the principles that Harry pioneered long ago: to carefully select the best plants and nurture them with care. This dedication to quality in all parts of our growing practice is the Monrovia difference, and it’s what makes our plants so valued for the home gardener. It’s my pleasure to present our Distinctive Selections in this guide, and to thank you for your interest in Monrovia.

Jonathan Pedersen CEO and Plantsman Monrovia


“Because we have nurseries located across the country in very different climates, we can offer an unmatched diversity and depth with more than 4,000 plant varieties and the ability to ship year-round.” J O N AT H A N P E D E R S E N | C E O A N D P L A N T S M A N


Our Philosophy THE WAY WE GROW PLANTS IS TRULY A CRAFT —a blend of art and science developed over decades of observation and innovation. Our desire is to grow plants so healthy and beautiful that they will improve the land wherever they are planted. We strive to grow in three ways:

GROW BEAUTIFULLY ™ We know that growing a beautiful garden isn’t just about growing plants—it’s about growing our human connection to nature. We use our hearts, minds, and hands to grow the finest selection of plants for every need, indoors and out. Our passion for plants, careful touch, and years of expertise results in plants that everyone can grow beautifully, sharing in the satisfaction that comes from nurturing living beauty at home to create their dream landscape.

GROW CONFIDENTLY We believe there is a science to growing beautifully. That’s why we work with breeders and plant explorers throughout the world and select varieties with the best genetics to grow stronger, healthier plants. Our incomparable propagation and growing techniques, exclusive soil mixes, and encouraging advice based on experience help ensure success in the garden.

GROW RESPONSIBLY We follow nature to develop our practices and techniques, to evaluate the evolution of plants, to watch for beautiful adaptations, and to learn the best way to provide whatever a plant may need. We use beneficial insects, compost, and natural microorganisms, and strive to reduce the use of insecticides and fertilizers. We work with nature to bring a plant’s beauty to life.

West Coast Nurseries WITH THEIR MILDER CLIMATES, our growing locations in California and Oregon can ship year round. We’ve recently expanded our color program with the addition of more than 35 acres of greenhouses to meet the demand of more on-time color.

CALIFORNIA

In California, we grow our legendary camellias, as well as offer the largest selection of our exceptional topiaries—the fullest and most uniform plants in the market. The long growing season allows us to prune these plants several times before they begin to grow dormant, resulting in full and fresh-looking topiary ready when our customers want them. We also grow a wide variety of edibles, drought-tolerant selections, and pollinator perennials available earlier thanks to mild winters. Our exclusive hydrangeas, bougainvilleas, hibiscus, and mandevillas thrive in this Mediterranean climate.

OREGON

In Oregon, we can grow the best selection of early flowering shrubs, peonies, clematis, Japanese maples and our acclaimed Dan Hinkley collection of plants. The Willamette Valley climate is perfect for growing our large selection of consistently full and uniform dwarf and hardy conifers. We also take great pride in growing outstanding blueberries here, with little to no chemical applications. Our large selection of perennials is staged for late spring/summer and early fall. The abundant selection of hydrangea and clematis are unparalleled.

East Coast Nurseries TWO NURSERIES, located in Connecticut and Georgia, allow us to quickly and conveniently ship early color when garden centers demand it. We can ship regional favorites for the East and South, including tropicals and early season color as well as later season perennials.

CONNECTICUT

In Connecticut, we are known for our early blooming flowering shrubs, trees, ornamental grasses, and late spring and summer color. We have a wide selection of rhododendron, and our Japanese maples are grown longer than those produced on the West Coast, resulting in a heavier plant with more compact branching. The rhododendrons benefit from hand-pinching to ensure compact growth with heavy buds. This East Coast location is convenient for garden centers in the East to place those smaller orders for late season color.

G E O RG I A

In Georgia, we have early availability of tropical plants, colorful patio trees, and perennials and houseplants. We excel in lagerstroemia, from shrub to tree. Our trees have five stems to create a fullness and uniform stem structure not found from other producers. We also offer a sublime selection of magnolias, broadleaf evergreens, conifers, roses, hydrangeas, ferns and other plants that thrive in hot, humid climates.

The SCI E NCE of BEAUT Y


SE ASI D E SE RE NAD E ® NEW P ORT H YD RAN G E A HYD RANGE A MACROPHYLLA ‘HORTM AN I ’ P P #28 ,085


“There is a science to beauty and quality. We believe better genetics make for better plants, and greater success for the home gardener. We test and trial in all four regions of the country. The secret to quality is in every step of the growing process.” G E O RG I A C L AY | P L A N T S E L E C T I O N S M A N AG E R


Working with the Best Breeders

WE WORK WITH BREEDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD—The Netherlands, France, the UK, Italy, Israel and U.S.—as well as at universities around the country. These are breeders on the leading edge of plant innovation and quality genetics. Because we have longstanding relationships, we can work together with breeders to see trends and opportunities to refresh popular plants in the market. We test and trial earlier than other trial programs. Our goal is to identify and bring new plants to market with features that consumers demand: longer blooming, disease resistance, unique color, compact form, larger flowers, lower maintenance, naturally well-behaved habit, unique foliage, and pollinator friendly.

REGIONAL TRIALING We’re one of the few growers to trial plants in four distinctly different climates. Many breeders have one breeding field, and appreciate the data we can share about how their plant will perform in these different regions. Climate comparisons allow us to bring plants to market with more confidence in their ability to perform for the home gardener in many zones.

T h e Sc i e n c e of B eaut y | 1 5


Testing and Consistency “We have hundreds of plants going through trial at any given time, knowing that only the very best will make it to market.” G E O RG I A C L AY | P L A N T S E L E C T I O N S M A N AG E R

IN THE BULLPEN When we trial plants in our nursery “bullpens,” we do very little intervention. We really want to see how the plant will grow with minimal pruning and care. For many plants, we’ll trial for several years to ensure that foliage, bloom, and habit remain consistent for multiple seasons. We’re looking to see how quickly a plant grows, whether the blooms appear as described, how prone to disease it may be, and other data. Out of hundreds of varieties we trial, only two or three will make it to widespread production.

ON TISSUE CULTURE When we identify a plant that we think is superior, we want to ensure that we grow it consistently from the very beginning of the growing process. Often, this means we turn to tissue culture. We use tissue culture more than most growers—it’s more expensive, but this micropropagation process yields more uniformity in branching, robustness, and other key characteristics. All of our rhododendrons, blueberries, hostas, and hundreds of other plants are grown in this way, in our state-ofthe-art lab in Oregon.

Case Study: A Stronger Rose The story of Grace N’ Grit™ Roses and Nitty Gritty™ Roses is a great example of the way we work.

OUR DEEP RELATIONSHIPS WITH BREEDERS allow us to see opportunities in the market before others might. “We were noticing a lot of categories of roses needed a refresh, more disease resistance, and a way to make them lower maintenance. The busier consumer was not as interested in fussy roses,” says Plant Selections Manager Georgia Clay. We collaborated extensively with breeders, trialing hundreds of roses in our search for a rose that possessed low-maintenance beauty, would be easy to propagate, and stayed true to type. “A lot of roses are going to look good only in a few areas or specific climates,” says Georgia. “We were looking for roses that wouldn’t need a lot of intervention to perform beautifully.” Two clear favorites emerged from our extensive testing: Grace N’ Grit™ Rose, a shrub type with floribunda blooms that did exceedingly well in both landscape and container situations, and Nitty Gritty™ , a groundcover rose that stays lower, has a light fragrance, and beautiful spray type blooms. The roses launched into market in 2018, and are now available in sizes from 2-gallon to patio tree forms. “Demand is growing,” says Georgia. “We clearly found a winner.”

The NATURE of BEAUT Y


SOF T S H I E L D F E RN POLYSTI C H U M S E TI F E RU M


Our Soil “It all starts with the soil. A healthy plant starts with good roots. And that’s why we have more than 40 different soil mixes to give a plant what it needs from the roots up.” I R M A C A R R A N Z A | P L A N N I N G P RO D U C T I O N

OUR SOIL MIXES Each and every plant requires a soil mix that enables it to grow at its best, so we tailor our soil to the plant’s needs. We custom blend our forty soil mixes to ensure the right water holding capacity, acidity/alkaline balance, and compost ratio for each plant type. A plant that’s grown in the right soil will establish itself quickly in the container and perform better in the garden, as healthy vigorous roots will expand and explore the surrounding soil.

USE OF COMPOST AND FUNGUS We add a nutrient rich soil compost made in-house to our soil mixes to improve plant performance. Each plant also gets the benefit of mycorrhizae, a beneficial fungus that enables water and nutrient uptake from the soil. That mycorrhizae will help the plant transplant well in the home garden.

BARK TOPPERS During our plant canning process, we add a bark topping to help suppress weed growth. This enables us to use considerably less chemical herbicide, and acts as a mulch to help retain soil moisture.

Environmental Practices

GROWING RESPONSIBLY We are committed to growing responsibly at all four of our nurseries. As a large grower, this means constantly pioneering new sustainability practices. We were the first major grower to recycle irrigation runoff in the 1970s, for example, and even operate a constructed wetland at our nursery in Cairo, Georgia. Today we are continuing this commitment to reduce water use with more drip irrigation, and exploring ways to reduce plastic use within our industry.

Biological Controls BENEFICIAL INSECTS AND SAFE ALTERNATIVES We utilize an integrated pest management system that includes the use of beneficial insects and other cultural controls. Ron Tuckett, an industry leader in IPM practices and longtime Monrovia craftsman, oversees our guidelines based on a philosophy that greater plant diversity supports a broad selection of beneficials. We strive to prevent pest infestations at our nurseries through vigilant scouting, and are leaders in the introduction of more pest-resistant varieties.

Finding Plants in the Wild “Working with Monrovia has been remarkable, because they understand both my process and what ships well to customers. My plants are so beautifully grown here.” D A N H I N K L E Y | P L A N T E X P LO R E R

AROUND THE WORLD Legendary plant explorer Dan Hinkley began collaborating with Monrovia in 2007. Together we have produced a line of plants based on seeds he has collected from India, Vietnam, China, and in the wild in the US to offer truly distinctive and innovative plants to the home gardener. “No one makes the kind of investment that Monrovia does on bringing notable plants to such a wide audience,” says Dan Hinkley.

AT OUR OWN NURSERIES Many of our most popular new introductions have come from the observant work of our own craftsmen. As sports from the field of existing stock, these new introductions are carefully trialed and monitored to ensure consistency and quality before they are production ready. Little Rick™ Mugo Pine (at left) for example, is a compact, dense variety discovered at our Oregon nursery and selected for its ability to stay green through the winter.

IN YOUR BACKYARD Several notable finds in recent years have come to us from landscape designers and even home gardeners who bring us exciting discoveries. We use the same regional trialing process to ensure the plant has truly improved features before moving to mass production. This Velvet Viking™ Japanese Maple, for example, was first identified by a landscape designer in Minnesota. Introduced in 2020, it’s our hardiest Japanese Maple, zones 4-9.

OUR MULTI-FACETED MARKETING programs increase consumer awareness and engagement. We utilize video, stunning photography, and live experiences at our nursery locations around the country to create content as inspiring as it is informative. We are constantly evolving our marketing strategy to ensure that it reflects how consumers are seeking and acting on information. Sometimes, that means a double-page spread ad in a national print magazine, sometimes that means a video collaboration with a regional garden expert. Marketing is rapidly changing every season, because our habits as consumers are continuously evolving. But what always stands out during times of transition is that keeping experiences simple — making it easier for consumers to simplify their shopping and selection of quality plants — is the key to earning their loyalty. Let’s work together to simplify the consumer experience of gardening, making it easier and faster for them to find the perfect plant.
